Pain relief is a basic human right. One does not need to endure pain as it can lead to a range of physical and psychological ill effects. Today’s medical management dictates that when a disease cannot be cured, one should at least attempt to reduce the severity of the symptoms that come along. The specialty of chronic pain management specifically aims to achieve this objective. It significantly improves the quality of life by alleviating pain, which is the most distressing symptom of most illnesses and diseases. It has evolved as a separate specialty with a distinct role in comprehensive patient management.

We offer a comprehensive spectrum of treatment modalities varying from simple OPD procedures to advanced pain therapies including availability of neurosurgical options—all under one roof. We also have a backup support of experts in physiotherapy, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, orthopaedics and oncology.

Patients suffering from pain which cannot be addressed by direct medical and surgical treatment and pain lasting for more than three to six months are the ideal candidates for referral.

Some of the common conditions are:

o Back pain due to +/-sciatica, small disc prolapse and facet arthropathy

Since there are so many different causes of pain, there cannot be a single option for everyone. An individualised treatment plan is developed based on assessment of the patient’s current condition and needs. By and large, a multimodal approach is advocated to give optimum pain relief to our patients.
